Tried to solve it using symlinks instead, but then my Users folder also ends up being written to ProgramFiles which I do not want, obviously. Stupid design choice by Spotify, and while it's not quite as bat-poop insane as, say, Microsoft's choice to install Age of Empires Online (a game that measures in at ~10 GB or more) to your AppData folder (even though the latter installs in Local rather than Roaming), it's still just bad design. It will still be in your Program Files folder too, but every time you run it from there, it will want to update/restart and then it runs from your AppData folder again. Furthermore, when updating in this fashion, Spotify will set itself to autostart on login again, which should not be done once I've set it to disabled - an upgrade should respect this but does not.
Sorry, but doing so (moving the folder and fixing the shortcuts) will just write Spotify back to your AppData folder the next time it wants to update.
